I think you need to ask the question again, it is not clear what you are trying to achieve. To start with the data you have shown appears to be a hash not an array. So presumably you have this hash in a variable and are trying to extract something from it. Tell us in more detail what you want to get out, not just in words, show us an example of what you are trying to achieve.

array_of_names = my_original_hash.collect{|key, value| value["name"]}
